Circa 1938-1945: Here is the great art deco shaped covered casserole by Homer Laughlin Pottery Company from the 30s and 40s. Riviera pottery was marketed through five-and-dime stores. Solid color dinnerware was all the rage during the late thirties and early forties. The bright sunny yellow surely lent cheer to the post-depression table. Lighter weight than it's sister Fiesta, Riviera is prone to breaks and damage, so it's always a treat to find the impressively large pieces in excellent, well cared for condition. This example in yellow is a treasure from the past. Measures 10 1/2" long.
